Panic!? | Life With an Anxiety Disorder
Hi friends! I just want to start off by letting
everyone know that I'm going to be talking
about anxiety in this video as well as some
triggers and treatments. I know a few of these
things might actually be triggers for people
with anxiety like myself, so if that's you,
I absolutely welcome you to just turn this
one video off and go back and check out our
channel and check out some of the other great
work that we've been doing. I also want to
make mention that this video has been really,
really difficult for me to actually script,
and film and edit. I've been suffering a lot
these past couple of weeks, you might have
picked it up on the Facebook page, I've been
going through some really bad pain and my
anxiety has been really terrible so I might
tear up a few times or look a bit unprofessional
but just bear with me on that one. I've had
a lot of issues with my camera set up and
lighting as well, so if this isn't super high
def I am so, so sorry.
I need to talk to you.
So you know that really nervous feeling that
kinda snakes up into your belly and it feels
cold and just scary when somebody says this
to you? That's anxiety. Actually I like to
think of my anxiety as a cat that fell in
the bath and can't get out. Cat people be
with me on that one. It's designed to help
us motor out of dangerous situations pretty
quickly, so for example, if you're walking
down the street in town by yourself at two
o clock in the morning, that's anxiety that
has you ready to run at literally every sound
of footsteps or a door slamming or something
coming up behind you. If you're on a safari
and a lion is licking its lips at you time
to feel a little anxiety. It's also pretty
typical to feel anxious about things like
job interviews, or meetings, or exams, or
giving presentations that doesn't mean you
have an anxiety disorder. But I think it's
time we had a chat about what happens when
anxiety turns from something natural to something
that is an all consuming force in your life.
I'm reading my script. Shhh don't tell anyone.
I want to take you away for a minute. I want
to take you to a place where you have just
gotten off the bus, it's been a really long
day and your boss is angry at you and you
just want to get home. As the bus pulls away
from the bus stop that you've just got off
at, you realise that you have left your $1200
smart phone on the seat and the bus is heading
for the bad part of town, and it is 5.30pm
so the bus depot isn't open to call the lost
and found service to let them know where your
phone is. Oh, and the phone contained all
of your photos of your recently newborn child,
the only ones you have. And they're not backed
up. Also your ATM card was in your phone case,
and your really expensive headphones were
attached.
You're probably feeling pretty anxious about
this. If you're not, let me know where you
get your super powers from.
Now take a step back from that situation and
imagine feeling that level of anxiety for
everyday things. Imagine feeling that anxious
about going to the post office, imagine that
feeling happening when you're brushing your
teeth. Imagine that feeling happening when
you are otherwise safe and shopping at your
local supermarket, only what if someone talks
to you? What if you're credit card doesn't
work? What if, what if, what if?
Also imagine feeling that for extended periods
of time. Not five minutes before your presentation,
or three days or a week before your exams
while you are studying. But literally every
day for months. Imagine that is your baseline
feeling and when stressful things happen,
you feel even more anxious.
Now a lot of people say that in scary situations
for example, bushfires (I'm from Australia).
They freeze in fear and that can happen on
a pretty regular basis with an anxiety disorder.
Sometimes you just think of the scariest possible
thing that could happen when you are leaving
the house and suddenly you're stuck on the
couch and you can't move. I guess I like to
think of my anxiety disorder as a totally
typical physiological function that's kind
of misfiring a little bit. To me, it's like
my conscience observes something that I'm
doing for example walking into a store, and
it texts my brain and says andquot;we're walking
into a store,andquot; but my conscience isn't a very
good speller, and there's a typo and my brain
receives a message that says, andquot;We are about
to die in a store.andquot;
Suddenly, I find myself routed to the spot
and my brain is going,andquot;Oh my god, oh my god,
oh my god, we're going to die in a store,
is this real? I mean, this must mean someone
has a gun. What's going to happen to my dog
if I get shot?Who is going to feed my dog?My
dog is going to chase my cats if I'm not home
tonight, and then my cats are going to get
injured. And who is going to be there to help
my cats because they don't even know that
I've been shot because all I did was walk
into a store!andquot; Suddenly, I'm running away
from the store, and running back home to make
sure my cat is okay.
Fun fact: gave myself a panic attack.
Another form of anxiety that I'm really familiar
with is called social anxiety. So basically,
that happens whenever I have to talk to someone.
I don't feel it so much around family members
and trusted, trusted, trusted friends, but
for example, I get pretty nervous sending
my boss a text to say that we've swapped shifts
at work. Or when I have to ring up to make
a doctor's appointment and I literally can't
answer the phone unless I know the person
on the other end.
Basically, with social anxiety, it's just
replacing the physical danger that I would
feel anxiety from with like a psychological
or emotional danger such as embarrassment
or feeling like I don't have friends, or people
laughing at me. Of course, anxiety affects
a lot of different people in a lot of different
ways. I for one know that when I'm having
an anxious period in my life, I can be pretty
hard to talk to. Everything I take in the
purse possible way... I take everything in
the worst possible way to the point where
some people just don't know what to say and
I'm not really capable of identifying the
fact that they try to help, I just think that
they are saying this because they think I
can't cope as a human. I'm taking the words
out of their mouths and my brain is translating
them to say in my own version of English andquot;You
are horrible at coping with life and you are
failing at everything.andquot; This is the same when
people ask me to do things, and maybe I didn't
do it the first time, so they just ask if
I have done it again, like andquot;hey did you remember
to fill out that form?andquot; And in English that
means hey did you remember to fill out that
form, in Kate Anxiety Language that's andquot;you
are useless, you can't fill out a form. What
are you doing trying to be an adult?andquot; I'm
also really sensitive I guess about what I
say to people. So say, I say something that
I think sounds a little bit off or a little
bit unfriendly, even though it probably sounded
perfectly friendly, I'm going to have a panic
attack about that for the next 6 - 12 years.
Even if the person, if I say sorry, the person
says andquot;hey I didn't notice,andquot; or andquot;hey, that's
fine, I didn't take it that way,andquot; I'm going
to think that's code for andquot;we hate you don't
talk to us again.andquot; Basically, all anxiety
for me revolves around something that I identify
as a danger. While I'm not horribly scared
of getting bitten by a snake, I am terrified
of people making a joke at my expense or not
liking me anymore. That's going to make me
anxious. Anxiety has no prejudices. It doesn't
mean that somebody is weak it doesn't mean
they are needy, it doesn't mean they have
had a bad childhood or even any kind of scarring
experience. A lot of my anxiety comes from
an incident that happened to me a couple of
years ago where a group of friends and I were
mugged and my friend got beaten up pretty
badly and later on we found out that it was
actually quite a big threat to his life. But
now things like somebody walking to close
behind me while I'm shopping, or going outside
to put my bins out at night, the other day
the electricity went off and I thought that
when I went outside I was going to get ambushed
by somebody, all because of one event that
happened a couple of years ago. Anxiety is
also not really something that you can snap
out of, there are a tonne of great resources
online that explain anxiety and explain panic
attacks and the chemical reactions that are
happening in your body and your brain when
they happen, which I will put a link to in
the dooblidoo. I mean, trust me, we're not
going to make a conscious effort to worry
about things the way that we do. It's not
really something we can control. We can control
it with medication, although that is a long
journey in itself and some medication is going
to work for some people, and it's not going
to work for others, it might make it worse,
it might make it better, it might make no
difference at all. And that's really a discussion
that people need to have with their doctor
or psychologist or psychiatrist, rather than
just getting the information off the internet.
Because out brains all have different chemistry,
we all work in different ways, we all take
medicine in different ways, and what works
for you is not necessarily going to work for
me, and what works for me isn't necessarily
going to work for you. And it's a long and
tough journey to find something that does
work so if you are an accompaniment on the
journey of anxiety, it's really important
to remember that we are trying to make that
step to remove anxiety at the level that it's
at from our lives, or there are some people
who don't want to do that, and that is fine
too. It's really important not to tell people
to just get over it, or snap out of it, I
mean, to me that's like telling a diabetic
person to just not be diabetic anymore. And
to be honest, to be a good ally to people
who do have anxiety it's important to understand
that they're going through something that
on the surface might be a 6 or a 7 but in
their minds could be a 15 or 20. I think the
most important advice that I could give to
people that don't have anxiety who might have
a friend or family member with anxiety is
that it's really important to let the person
who has anxiety know that you believe them
wholeheartedly, don't tell them that they
are just talking themselves into it, or if
they keep thinking about it they're going
to talk themselves into it. You can't talk
yourself into a chemical reaction in your
brain, you just can't. There are very few
things that are more disabling during a time
of panic or anxiety than having somebody you
care about invalidate your feelings by saying
you've talking yourself into this, or it isn't
as bad as you think it is. I know that to
some that is going to sound like really supportive
and comforting words. So my camera turned
itself off halfway through filming, and the
tripod fell over. Technology doesn't want
me to make this video. But anyway just wanted
to say thanks for watching, thanks for all
your support, I'm really loving the conversation
that's going on on our Facebook page, Twitter,
and the YouTube comments, it's really awesome
I love to see what responses you guys come
up with for this video. If you have any suggestions
on what videos you'd like to see us make in
the future, or just any comments, good, bad
or in between, we really appreciate the constructive
criticism you've been giving as it's been
helping us make our videos better. And also
don't forget to subscribe! Have a good week,
see you next time!
There's a cat on the other side of this door,
actually. You might hear some meowing, I haven't
got any hostages, they just want to join in
the video.
